Favorite Interaction with Students
When they come to my office to share their latest writing or read a passage out of a book they weren't able to read before.

Most Inspiring Graland Program
I love the first day of school -- seeing how much the students have grown over the summer, watching families take the first day of school pictures, and the excitement of a new school year.

Favorite Graland Moment
When we opened the Early Childhood Learning Center in 2012

Graland Trip I Love
I love going to La Foret and seeing some students sleep away from their families for the first time. Then, by the end of the trip, they’re so confident!

Professional Passion
My passion is supporting teachers and brainstorming solutions and the best avenues to support students and families. Working with our students makes me very optimistic about the future because we have amazing young leaders who have a passion for making the world a better place.

Why I Work at Graland
It’s a community where everyone is committed to doing what is best for children.

Outside Graland I’m ...
... traveling and exploring new places, and spending time with my grandchildren.
